Random musings on anything, just the right length to go with a cup of tea.

Makes you think.

I like to follow the oddball link that sometimes comes up in my Internet travels. Today's link was in Yahoo's Personal Finance section. I know, for some of you, it will come as a shock that I actually read financial sites. Since the melt-down in October, I have read more financial information than all my years on this earth prior. Yes, all this information has caused the decimal place to fluctuate from the sheer volume of opinion and advise out there, but I can say that I'm more educated than I have ever been.

Which lead me to this little gem.

"How Rich Are You"? This article profiled a little widget that takes all known salaries of everyone on the earth, adds yours and comes out with a graphic that shows you where you fall in the richest category. Yes, most of us could stand to have a few more pennies, but this really opens your eyes when you see where you rank, even at your current salary.

About Me

It's taken awhile to realize I'm truly in the middle of the ages. I'm a sometimes grown-up but if you want to walk in the rain without an umbrella, I'm all in. I like cats and reading; writing and cooking; chocolate and playing World of Warcraft; hot tea and hot cocoa; the Iowa Hawkeyes and jazz; counted cross-stitch and Scotland; just sitting on the deck doing nothing but sitting and visiting museums to expand my knowledge; watching the sun come up and standing in a cornfield at night trying to find the constellations. Thanks to rheumatoid arthritis, I'm walking a road I didn't expect to be walking, but I'm trying to make that route fun. You'll find I comment on all sorts of things. Thanks for stopping by.
